Great day, weather could not have been better, 113 guys played, the competition was very interesting and I think everyone had a good day.

And at the end of it all we had a tie for top spot. Hyundai and Loyal Oarsman both ended up with a score of 211. To break the tie we used participation for the day. That broke it apart as Hyundai had 12 players yesterday. We kept saying that participation was important and in the end it was the critical factor.

So, in addition to winning the championship and having their names added to our newish league trophy the team will receive $1000, Loyal Oarsman will get $750, Boston Pizza $500 and Queens $250.

In section B Investors Grp by 1 point win $750 and Subaru will get $500

In section C Cowan, the surprise of the day, if not the year won $500. They were the lowest team of the day at 206 which is interesting because they started Thursday as the lowest rated team in the league, about 55 points behind the first placed team. Well done guys,

The KP'S were won by Rick Ward on number 3 and John Sheridan on number 7.

Skins were shared as follows: in the 0-5 group Jim Laudanski and Dennis Pennock each won $12.50, in 6-8 Sonny Mclean, Chris Ricketts won $10.25 eacha and Rick Ward with 2 won $20.50. The biggest skins winners, due to a carryover in the 9+ group were Bill Cadue and Jeff Jeffey who won $39.50 each. Congratulations to all.

And... the last 50/50 of the year was won by GlennMcGiilivary who got $233. Thanks to those guys who supported this during the year. We have a good sized prize table tomorrow, approx. $4000 that was funded by the 50/50. I know some guys do not believe in this and do not contribute but the funds do go a long way to the benefit af all the league members. Plus 17 different guys were pretty happy with what they won. Thanks again.

Have a good time tomorrow! The weather looks great and as of yesterday we have 118 people signed up to play. ENJOY.

Howard

PS

The skins money for the second half of the year plus the team money, including the playoff winnings, will be available tomorrow

Tomorrow is looking real good, the weather seems to be cooperating, and we are looking forward to our fiinal day of play and the crowning of a new league championship team.

Based on the total points from last week the sections are set up as follows:

Section A playing for 4 cash prizes of $1000, $750, $500 and $250 are HYUNDAI, QUEENS, BOSTON PIZZA and LOYAL OARSMAN.

Section B playing for 2 cash prizes of $750 and $500 are INVESTORS GROUP, SUBARU, SNC-LAVALIN and SUTTON

Section C Playing for 1 cash prize of $500 are TOYOTA, ACCRA, COWAN, and LEISURE DAYS.

Please note - if there any ties for prizes we will break the ties with participation points from tomorrow and if still tied by participation points from the total year. And all team money will be shared based on participation points, as we have done the last two years

Plus we will have skins and KP'S.

The only downside to tomorrow will be that we cannot record the results on our system by section. You should be able to see total team points but we will have to finalize the results manually and send you all an email.

Hope you all have a good or great day. HAVE FUN.

Finally tomorrow will be the last day to sign up for our closing tournament on Saturday. There will be a prize table of approx. $4000.

When you register we will ask you to pay $10 for the day. $5 will go into skins for the day and $5 will go into a cash pot for a draw for a "winner take all". You will have to pay to play for these prizes.

It is getting close to the end. We have been regularly challenged by the weather but the attendance has been fantastic every week so thanks for that support and effort.

This past week has been no different but 84 guys got the job done - some of you between raindrops and ahead of the thunder and lightning. About 10 other gave it a go but it was really bad at certain time of the day and they couldn't finish.

It was kinda weirdly fitting that the last shot of the day on #4 by Tom Martineau was jammed into the hole for an eagle. Well done

We have run out time so rescheduling or delaying was not an option. We looked at the results as posted on the website and then did a calculation using just 4 team members from each team ( 1 gross and 3 net) to assess how the results affect the overall totals and which teams would move forward. If you remember our league rule are that a minimum of 6 player is required for a team score to count. Unfortunately three teams had less than 6 players this week which is why we looked at the option of using 4 players.

After looking at both options ( and calculations) we determined that both approaches give us the same results and so we are using the outcomes on the website.

That means:

Section A ( this group will play for the overall league title plus team prizes of $1000,$750,$500 and $250) will be Hyundai, Queens, Boston Pizza and Loyal Oarsman.

Section B ( this group will play for team prizes of $500 and $250 ) will be Investors Group, Subaru, SNC-Lavalin and Sutton

Section C ( this group will play for a $250 team prize) will be Toyota, Accra, Leisure Days and Cowan Ins.

These will all be straight up matches in each section with no carry over of points. Your team score of 2 gross and 4 nets scores will decide the winners.

We have spread the money out this year so that every team has something to play for right to the bitter end.

Make sure you sign up for Saturday which is our closing tournament. In addition to the steak dinner we are offering a minimum $3500 prize table and we will be paying out all the remaining skins plus the team money won during the second half of the year and playoffs.

The playoff format with the three sections, increased points and participation points, has created some interesting results and opportunties.

The top 4 teams, in total points so far are Loyal Oarsman 139, Hyundai 139, Investors Grp 136 and Queens 134. Boston Pizza with 132 and SNC-Lavalin with 126 are in the hunt for the top four spots for the final day on September 14th and several other teams are close enough that the increased points this still give them a chance to jump up. It will all depend on what happens this week. You can check the totals on the club website under the "playoff" banner in the Men's League area. (Note; I have to correct the existing Oarsman totals to reflect the participation points they lost a couple of weeks ago)

Last week Loyal Oarsman were last in Section A, Boston Pizza was last in Section B and Hyundai jumped over Investors Grp. in Section C. We increase the poiints again this week so there are still lots of different possibilities.

Hopefully you got my email with more details about last Thursday.

A reminder about September 16th. This is our last event for Men's League this year and should be a great day. Lots of prizes, fun and a free steak dinner. We will also be paying out the skins money and team money from the season on that day. Hopefully you will make it out. We will need you to sign up for the day so we can estimate the numbers we will have playing and the number to plan for afterwards. We need to tell the kitchen how many wil be there for dinner and that also means how many dinners we will PAY for that day. I don't want to waste any league money so we need and accurate estimate.

There will be a sheet in the proshop this week for you to sign up!! We will try to accommodate groups who want to play together but we also reserve the right to schedule people to make sure everyone has a group to play with and that the day goes well. None of us want a 5 hour round! But we also want to do our best to make sure everyone has a good time.
